Hey, my name is Andy and I bought a 350GT accouple of weeks back. Just saying hello and looking for other members who own this car, looking at swapping info etc. Mines a 2003 premium coupe with Nismo exhaust, rear wing, 19's and accouple of other goodies. Will get some pics soon.

Could I ask, what is everyone average fuel consumption? I use 98 RON fuel and it seems to vary quite a bit.

Also, has anyone ever had any luck converting the DVD/sat nav to AU standard? I know its probably a stretch but just checking.

Have a good one.

Nice. Try the "Next Skyline" subforum, but as the cars are quite new in Australia there aren't too many owners. You'd be just as well off finding a US-based G35 forum for information. I moderate the Australian section of 350Z-Tech, which has a strong Australian contingent of 350Z / V35 owners as well as being a US-based site. Some solid info on the cars on there, since the Z33 and V35 share platforms.

Also, has anyone ever had any luck converting the DVD/sat nav to AU standard? I know its probably a stretch but just checking.

See here. Looks like the answer is "no".

I average about 8km per litre in city driving and 10.5km per litre on the freeway. With a 75 litre tank that can get alittle exxy but we'll see, I thought 350Z's has better economy (considering they are essentially the same mechanicall).

Thanks for the info, will be joining 350Z tech.

I thought the consumption was fantastic! I get 9L /100km. Compared to my previous car, Lexus LS430 which used 11.5/100km.

I've tried almost everything to convert it over, even tried the uncontactable xanavi informatics company who make the DVD Navigation software for the Nissan Skyline V35 / Infiniti G35 coupe. Apparently Australia is too insignificant compared to the rest of the world.

xanavi.co.jp - All these guys need to do is supply a Australian version of the navigation software and we're done! but they're as holes. :)

There's one guy I know in petersham that can do a conversion, however it means that you can only use the pop up screen as just that, the original DVD player in the dash will need to be replaced with another chinese version which plays DVD's and the nav software. But he charges around $1500+

If anyone can help! it would be fantastic!

Hey andy, always good to meet another 35 owner.

I've done alot of research into the dvd sat/ nav myself and always come up dry. The best thing I've found is the following convertor which is required if you wish to use the screen for anything.

nav convertor

Also guys, could anyone who's interested in a v35 specific section of the forum chuck there two cents in here

v35 specific forum post

would be a good place to share info and v35 specific resources

No don't do that. It's not a new car anymore by any standard, and the V36 is out in numbers in Japan so in the General Skyline section it stays.

I realise I quoted an old post, but from now on, V35 threads posted in 'The Next Skyline' will be moved to General Skyline section.

it's funny they still call it "the next skyline" when in fact they've been around for 6 years and are still the current model.

The should rename this forum the dinosaur skyline.

V35 is actually the previous model now. V36 here we come. When is compliance going to be ready for the V36 ..... droool

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
